How to Not Kill Your Syngonium Scrambled Eggs

Syngonium Scrambled Eggs is a beautiful plant that is relatively easy to care for. Here are some tips to keep your Syngonium Scrambled Eggs alive and thriving and out of the compost pile:

  1. Light
    Syngonium Scrambled Eggs prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so keep it away from direct sunlight.

  2. Water
    Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering can cause root rot, so it's important not to let the plant sit in water.

  3. Humidity
    Syngoniums thrive in humid environments, but will tolerate household humidity levels fine. Consider placing a humidifier near the plant or misting the leaves with water regularly.

  4. Temperature
    Keep the plant in a room with a temperature range of 65-80°F (18-26°C). Avoid placing it near cold drafts or air conditioning vents.

  5. Fertilizer
    Fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced houseplant fertilizer.

  6. Pruning
    Regular pruning can help keep the plant bushy and full. Prune any yellow or damaged leaves as they appear.

  7. Potting
    Repot the plant once every one to two years to provide fresh soil and space for growth. Use a chunky aroid potting mix which contains ample pockets to oxygenate roots.

By following these tips, you can enjoy a healthy and thriving Syngonium Scrambled Eggs plant.
